No, I really did mean RoundUP!  Judging from the obvious similarity in
names, the two are probably related... but they're not the same.

BTW, "Rounder" is not a claim of superior circularity; it is from the
word "rounder" (disreputable or unsavory person) which appears in many
folk songs.  (Remember the Holy Modal Rounders?)  There's also the
Grateful Dead's label, Round Records...

No, and you'll probably get a double-handful of corrections.  Although some
of the members of the Dead have recorded on Round, that's somewhat
peripheral (e.g., "Old & In the Way", which might as well be called Vassar
Clements' or David Grisman's record).  The only real "Grateful Dead's
label" would be the now-defunct label named, curiously, Grateful Dead
Records.
